Fast, simple one-to-one chats. Every one is end-to-end encrypted, always.

Free. No ads. iPhone, Android, and Mac are coming soon.

Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Pigeon does what a messenger should, and every conversation stays between the people in it.
Groups
Family, friends, the team. Group chats get the same protection as a direct message.
Voice calls
Crystal-clear one-to-one calls, encrypted from your device to theirs.
Photos & files
Share pictures, voice notes, and documents. They’re locked before they upload.
Nearby
No signal? Messages hop between phones over Bluetooth until they reach your friend.
No ads, ever
No trackers, no feed, no one studying your chats. Just your conversations.
Nearby
When the towers go quiet, keep talking.
Turn on Nearby and Pigeon sends messages phone to phone over Bluetooth. No cell service or Wi-Fi needed, as long as someone with Pigeon is close by.
-
Festivals and concerts
Packed crowds overload the cell towers. The crowd itself can carry your message.
-
Parks and trails
Dead zones where data never really worked. If you’re close, Pigeon still can.
-
Outages and emergencies
When the network is down, people nearby can still reach each other.
Each hop reaches about the size of a large room, so range grows with the number of Pigeon users nearby. Nearby is not a replacement for emergency services.
Privacy
We never read your messages.
Not over the internet, and not over Nearby. Your messages are locked on your device, and only the people you’re talking to hold the key.
Locked before it leaves
Messages, photos, and calls are encrypted on your phone or computer before they go anywhere.
No spare key
We don’t keep a copy we can open. Our servers carry sealed envelopes, nothing more.
Quiet notifications
Alerts from Apple and Google just say “New message.” Your words never ride along.
